This ongoing class will meet to journal write and find different ways to be inspired and get creative! You are welcome to join any week that interests you or come each week and gain a more a regular practice of journal writing and this shared experience. Below you will find a list of journal writing topics, which will be continuously updated so you know what you will be studying and choose what interests you.

There are many kinds of journals. Some people record their innermost thoughts and feelings daily. Others write a single poem or a few lines of an essay once a week, every few months, or simply "whenever". The wonderful thing about journaling is that there are no rules or restrictions. To get your creative juices flowing, we will start a journal to record inspirational thoughts and ideas, or keep track of  little ideas and projects. 

You will choose a journal, with or without  lines, whatever appeals to you most. Pick the color, size, and texture that you like! Or make your own journal, designing a cover with drawings and photographs. Starting is the most important action. We will talk about how to create inspiration! You never know what will be waiting for you when inspiration strikes.

Each class will begin with a short story. Next we will allow ourselves some writing time. Students will share what they are writing, and learn how to give specific and positive feedback.
